about me

Hi, my name is Ariane McCosh.

I live in Terrey Hills with my son, my husband, a boxer named Pixel Blinn and all the wildlife that insists on camping around...and have a lot of fun in my spare time making cards and scrapbooking.

I support research !

Inkling Cyberstamp Fun – part 1

Alison was our graceful and talented hostess this time, and the first challenge was to create a card using RidingHood Red, Whisper White and Soft Suede... I had not made a "bird card" yet, and since I missed the Mother's Day craze this year, this is my effort... I am a bit rusty - took me longer than usual!

And the inside - you do need space to write something inside, eh?

Makeesha sketch Challenge #19

makeesha-sketch-019working on it tonight... hmm..

here's my first rendition - maybe I will try a couple more tomorrow, if time is on my side :o)
This theme has a bit of a history behind it: I have a friend who turned 40 last year and made a speech during his party that he was a happy bachelor and would never be "caught" in a hook by a girl... he felt there were too many fish in the sea to be with just "one catch". Exactly 10 months later he tells me he is madly in love, proposed and will be getting married in May in Tahiti. I had been thinking about sending him a card with a pertinent message, and saw this sketch as the perfect opportunity... To my Friend - Best Wishes and a Long Married Life as a The Catch!

Makeesha Inspiration Challenge #18

makeesha-inspiration-challenge-18 I haven't participated in any challenges in a while - so this is my first rendition for this one: I have been in love with the cards that stand by themselves, and love the lines in whisper white that look like panelling...

It's hard to get tired of the Butterfly Print stamp set also - and the Framed with Love frame worked nicely with the You & Moi message.
